Ten foreign players, including eight grandmasters, were invited to compete against six top Swiss players, including national champion Keller, at Zurich's Kongreßhaus. Among the grandmasters invited were Mikhail Tal and Paul Keres from the Soviet Union, Bobby Fischer from the United States, Svetozar Gligoric from Yugoslavia, Bent Larsen from Denmark, Wolfgang Unzicker from Germany, and Fridrik Olafsson from Iceland, five of whom participated in the world candidates tournament the same year. Although Tal viewed the tournament as a lesser event, it turned out to be closer than he would have expected. Although Tal easily defeated five of the six Swiss players, Edwin Bhend dealt the future world champion a blow in the first round. After dispatching his countrymen later in the tournament, Tal felt in fine form, but then lost again, this time at the hands of Gligoric, who would trail him only by half a point in the end. This was also a significant tournament for young Fischer. His play was already improving dramatically at international events against stronger opposition, and he came close to tying Tal in the final. Alas, a loss to the Swiss champion in the penultimate round cost Fischer a spot at the top and he had to settle for equal third with Keres. Tal won clear first with 11½ points out of 15 rounds.

[@volodyanarchist]

I honestly think that some of it was just psychological warfare. Maybe that's why Keller didn't take that pawn at the end. Maybe his thought pattern was something like this: ~ A pawn isn't protected. I better not take it and sacrifice some of my pieces, maybe I will draw then. It's Tal after all.

[@ahxMad]

best line of the video 😆

[@EphraimAtkinson]

"A very interesting game by Mikhail Tal." At this point, in watching this channel, that phrase might be redundant.

Is Tal even capable of a boring game?

[@theazrael4423]

When you can't explain a move by a Tal opponent it's because as you once said, "you start seeing ghosts" . His style seems to be to take his opponents down a rabbit hole into wonderland.

[@aniketbramhankar5980]

It's interesting to see stockfish showing Tal's moves as wrong at first but when it goes deeper Stockfish realizes that actually it was much better than its own recommended move! #STOCKFISHCONFUSED

[@krishnamohan2351]

Aniket Bramhankar that happens a lot with tal games. Engines cannot think like us yet. :)

Krishna Mohan engines cannot think, yet...

[@thomasiloveladytrain8599]

Alpha zero

[@DaniloSouzaMoraes]

If tals apponent had been stockfish though...

[@DrLordSultan]

It's because a correct response to Tals moves would destroy his strategy, but after a suboptimal countermove Stockfisch evaluates, that the optimal moves from that point won't stop Tals strategy.

[@teddymargoles5829]

wow as a beginner this video was the first time I really realized how beautiful chess is. Tal is fantastic.

[@Creat1vPL]

In my thoughts Tall was the greatest mind (in chess) of the world. He complicated everything, sacrificed most significantion figures and... still can win :)

One of the few games where tal's opponent loses a queen first lol hahaha

At that point Tal stood up from the board, looked Keller in the eyes and said through the teeth "Oh no, you didn't".

[@jhonmalakiat7463]

yes,in one move i think bishop can capture a piece,maybe i didn’t saw something

I was looking for this comment. Why didn't Keller's dark bishop capture Tal's knight when the knight forked the king and the queen? Min 10:53

[@ford950]

@@adyyonascu Rook is checking the king, since it's a double-check from the rook and the knight you have to move the king.

Tal games are so entertaining. He basically knocks you out with swift jabs and keeps you hanging in the corner so you cant fall down or go to knee before you are totally hammered to hell..

[@davidreid5599]

After the Knight blocks the check by moving to b4, there is an elegant mate by Dc6+. The king is forced by check on d7 from a7 to b8 when Sc6 is mate. Check on e8 produces the same if king goes to b8 immediately. Blocking on c7 with the queen allows Dd5+ winning the rook. What a fascinating position. Poor Keller's head must have been bursting!

[@harshvithalani3428]

Add more videos of Vishwanathan Anand, I'm a big fan of him

[@ron041]

At 11:00 why not bishop captures knight Saving both check and the fork

[@vanshajjain5265]

Because the check is from rook as well

[@paulbrowning9055]

Magician from Rega

[@akibhassan2534]

Unbelievable how Tal can wreck havoc on the chess board! There isn't any move that he can't play. Sheer brilliancy...

[@udaygupta6934]

At the time of Tal rook capture bishop on e4, keller should play RxG3. As the f2 pawn is pinned h2 will capture the rook, and QxG3 will be another check. Also if king moves it is better for black

[@joeytje50]

3:35 this part with all the "before"s and "b4"s is quite confusing :P

[@XyBeatZHipHopInstrumentals]

This looks like Tal is simply having fun with this guy. Like he is playing with a 800 player.. Wtf...

[@vpravi]

5:22Tal definitely won't fork the king and queen😅😂

[@jasonsudirdjo8984]

I saw that too why did agad not discuss that

[@mattroxursoul]

9:19 what about bishop taking pawn on f2? Maybe he would not have won still, but could have relieved some of that pressure for a play or two. At that point he had a material advantage but not a positional one.

[@nik0096]

Tal forces the opponent to calculate which ends up favoring him...Great Channel for Learning chess...Can you please make a video for chess openings with there strengths and weaknesses?

Botvinnik said about Tal: if he ever offers a piece, always take it (but never take one if Petrosian offers it), but Botvinnik kept the rest of the advice to himself: but you're not me...

[@maheshs4056]

12:02, maybe Keller didn't bother about the e7 pawn because he has a rook at a8 that could capture it immediately?

[@theswim1993]

@7:45 if the knight was captured on b5 it wouldve been 1. a6 Rxa6 2. Qxa6+ Kb8 3. Qa8#. 3 move checkmate.

[@inoriyuzuriha9082]

h2opolocan highly unlikely that black will take that pawn

[@inoriyuzuriha9082]

I think a6 would be met by Ka7

[@pratikparmar8709]

5:25 agad missed the fork with Ne6+ winning the queen, the game is too complicated even for agad ! :D

[@morpher728]

7:26 what's about killing the pawn with Queen

[@juleskolo4156]

At 7:07, there is no check and no piece defending the e7 pawn, so it appears to me to be a free capture for black moving black queen from c7 to e7? Black knight to c6 looks to be a wasted move..

[@juleskolo4156]

People deleted their previous comments, so my comment no longer has any context, I was however agreeing with Morpher

[@michaelmendillo4614]

I totally agree with you Agadmador,,,,

[@colindalton6632]

@8:38 I feel like white could have played bishop f3... looks pretty strong to me unless I’m missing a line

very nice video

[@ukashk1071]

Amazing game

[@Kasparov527]

@5:23 simply knight to e6

[@pianoenthusiast]

I guess he can just recapture with his own knight on b8

[@pradyumnamundhe8643]

that is just brilliant..

[@shadowwalker4633]

At 8:55 he might have sacked the rook on g3 and hope for something 😀 if its taken its a draw if not move the queen and have some weird counterplay.

[@Nimaheshmati]

All he had to do was capture that pawn with the rook and he actually could've won the game, he had much more pieces, and just had to play accurately and coordinate his pieces. But I agree Tal complicates the positions and puts them in time trouble

[@Kasparov527]

Keller was really innocent here

[@ssbhide123]

At 8:44 why not Bxb1? Black can get two rooks for a queen(...,Bxb1,Rxe5,fxe5) plus white's knight on b5 and bishop on g4 both are hanging so essentially black may get two rooks and a piece for his queen.

[@inoriyuzuriha9082]

Bd7 after fxe5

[@inoriyuzuriha9082]

OK sorry about a rush decision for me to suggest. I guess Bf3 is the only good move after that fxe5 move. I'm not sure though I don't have a board with me so it's kinda complicated for me but after f4 I think Bg2 just to save the bishop though White will lose the initiative after that since there's not enough material aiming at the king after that. Lets say axb5,Qxb5+ after this White would have to play against two minor along with two rook with just a queen and a bishop although white can grab a few pawn it'll be hard to get back in the game since e7 pawn will go down without a fight too Summary: I agree with you

[@legacyoftheduellist5864]

Stockfish has the right moves, but Tal has magical Power on his opponents

[@Narrowcros]

That Re5 got to me, made no since. You had to grap that past pawn and the game might have been very diffrent.

[@shikharbaral8235]
